Crow Docs v2.0 β€” New Tools, Supercharged OCR, and Bug Fixes

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share a massive update for Crow Docs (v2.0). If you're looking for a document utility suite that actually respects your data, this is for you.

The core philosophy remains: 100% Client-Side Processing.
No uploads, no servers, no registration. Your documents never leave your computer. πŸ”’

Here is what’s new in this version:


πŸš€ New Features & Improvements

🎨 Markdown β†’ Slides (New!)

Convert your Markdown files into professional PDF presentations instantly.

  • Customization: Themes (Dark, Light, Blue, Green, Gradient).
  • Layouts: 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios.
  • Readability: Fully configurable font sizes.

πŸ” Supercharged OCR

We’ve overhauled the character recognition engine:

  • Parallel Processing: Faster multi-page recognition.
  • Smart Auto-Rotation: Automatically detects and corrects page orientation.
  • Global Language Support: New support for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and multi-language combinations.

πŸ“„ Improved Workflow

  • DOCX Preview: View your Word documents directly in the browser before converting to PDF.
  • Progress Bars with ETA: Real-time tracking so you know exactly when your task will be finished.
  • File Validation: Instant validation of file types and sizes before processing starts.

πŸ› Bug Fixes & Stability

We’ve addressed several key issues to make the experience smoother:

  • PDF β†’ Word: Fixed the bug that limited conversions to the first page. Large documents now convert completely.
  • Word β†’ PDF (Academic Standards): Fixed the ABNT NBR 14724 formatting issues. Margins (3/2/3/2 cm), Arial 12pt, 1.5 spacing, and 1.25cm paragraph indents are now perfectly applied.
  • Navigation: Fixed scroll hijacking. When returning from a tool, the site now keeps your exact scroll position on the main page.

🎨 New Visual Identity

Crow Docs has a fresh new look:

  • Exclusive Logo: A new "Crow" icon that adapts to your theme (White for Dark Mode, Black for Light Mode).
  • Consistent Branding: New favicon and OpenGraph images for better social media sharing.
